Re: "Windows is for accounting applications, occasional e-mail, and music authoring"
Yes, Windows is for music authoring because Windows is for doing anything creative, Windows is for creating consumable content.
Linux (or BSD) is for consuming content without limits, without much worry of viruses or malware. Linux is also for problem solving and hosting and delivering content--sure one can be creative in problem solving and in the methods of delivering content, but it's a different mindset than actually creating consumable content.
If companies like Adobe were to ever release their flagship software for Linux, you'd see a real change. Right now, all the good creative software suites are simply not available for Linux.
